1 week ago Another Chinese quant fund joins DeepSeek in AI race with model rivalling GPT

Another Chinese quantitative trading firm has entered the race to develop large language models (LLMs), unveiling systems it claims can match – and in some cases surpass – the performance of US rivals such as OpenAI’s GPT-5.1, following the global rise of DeepSeek. Beijing-based Ubiquant said it released a series of open-source code-focused LLMs last week that outperformed leading closed-source models on multiple benchmarks despite using far fewer parameters. The IQuest-Coder-V1 family is...

1 week ago DeepSeek pitches new route to scale AI, but researchers call for more testing

DeepSeek’s proposed “mHC” architecture could transform the training of large language models (LLMs) – the technology behind artificial intelligence chatbots – as developers look for ways to scale models without simply adding more computing power. However, experts cautioned that while the approach could prove far-reaching, it might still prove difficult to put into practice. In a technical paper released last week, co-authored by DeepSeek founder and CEO Liang Wenfeng, the company proposed...
